SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for March 29

Molly Brown was on board the Titanic when it tragically sunk in 1912. Although she knew the ship was taking on water, she shouted to a panic-stricken fellow passenger: "There's no danger. It simply can't go down, because I'm on it and I'm unsinkable." Her bantering words, which rang out with the determination never to be defeated and never to give in to despair are said to have given courage to her fellow passengers. Those who stand up at a crucial moment demonstrate genuine greatness.

and abt my previous post, i saw a meaningful poem from wad i get yday
Life
"I will cast out
All the vagueness and indecision within me
Because my wish is to construct
The castle of my whole life
On the fulfillment of each promise I make
I want to live my life
As a surpessingly broadminded person
Known for being happy and honest
A person in whom people can have absolute trust in
I've put behind me
The age of dreaming about a rosy future
And with roots extended into life's reality
I realize that the power to create happiness
Derives from what we actually do today." -- Daisaku Ikeda

talking abt the ch 8 7pm show. it's not the most cui HK serial can? y cui? except the stupid thing tt y so many ppl have to die... y! the tian yi is like how evil? will such ppl exist in real life.. yes there will be, but doubt can plot the death of that many ppl though.. ok la, it's a bit too unrealistic la. tt's y it's a bit cui haha..
anyway, e 1st serial of e show is totally different from this 2nd serial, as in use back the same character but diff plot. tt's funny rite.. i watch like the last few episode of the 1st serial so not much impression of the show, except it's quite some killing also. dramatic shows

Honor... in commemoration of 3.16

went for the YMD leaders 3.16 commemorative meeting. It was a gd meeting. Louis shared his testimonial which i feel is most appropriate as he renew his vow for kosen-rufu. There are also talks abt the plans for this year.
Also at this meeting we get to listen a new song, penned by GD. Think 2 days ago on 14th march, YMD chief asked GD if he can attend this meeting, and GD spend 15 min to write down a poem, which he gave to a YMD who came up with the lyrics and hence become a song with rather catchy tunes.
Honor
When the Sun rises each morning
It brings light to the people
When the moon appears each evening
It brings love to them all

Every morning when I wake up
I am grateful I am alive
For I have another day
To share my happiness and joy

Honor is the name
Honor is my mane
As a man of devotion
I must never die in shame

There is always something to live for
There is always something to fight for
But my greatest pride of living
Is victories for my mentor
i did sth stupid today, which makes me have to spend hours redoing. mustn't let it happen again

SD study meeting ..

yup went to sd study meeting today. enriching experience, esp when it's now rev wanatabe. a different type of presentation style but all e more i learnt things. i liked e last part where he shared abt this own experience with sensei.. need to reflect n take actions based on the things he said... think e study meeting shd make it more often, rather than just once every 2 mth. it was once a month last sem if i not wrong..
anyway, some ppl are just stand childish. or maybe the teenager cant stand i'm tall. he's a person of at least 17 of age, yet he must purposely glance back, see where i'm n block my walking path. i wonder wad he has to gain? i shd have filmed a idiot snaking in front of me n send to stomp...enuff said

initiative!

ya i need e initiative to do many things, but now i got e initiative to blog.. well, cos i got sth to say.. think there's a freaking bad point abt it..
i just tend to slack in my effort, or just put the bare min.. well, i will say not for all things, but 1 thing in particular, and tt's enuff. whenever i have to talk, i just talk e bare min. and many a times, i just satisfied with tt. and also, i just feel happy when, tt's it, nth else for me. this is really a deep rooted problem, sth i really must overcome, overcome this negative point abt me. just have to jia you.. but i think e fundamental problem is still e lack of courage. step 0 to step 1 is always the hardest, but tt's wad i must overcome..

music n lyrics part 2

yeah shall talk more abt the movie. anyway to clarify, i dunno if e story is a true story.. maybe it isn't, but if u watch e movie e ending part, it seems like it's true..go watch n u will know
anyway there is 1 scene i dun like or shd i say i hate, abt the movie. haley bennet, who is a singer in real life, (she's chio if u ask me lol) played some singer in the movie who is supposed to be religious or spiritual? n supposedly she believe in e Buddha, then she acted like a monk, sorta to greet everyone like wad monks do. yet she like those sensual, or shd i call sexual moves. yet in 1 scene which is supposed to be her concert. then there is this big thing at the start. when the concert starts, the big thing unveiled and turned out to be a Buddha statue n she came out from it. i feel that it's a big insult lor. wtf does the whoever think of e idea think he is doing.

music n lyrics!

someone treat me to the show.. cos i was late n she has to pay.. lol. well, i was late for a valid reason ok..
talking abt the movie, cos i dunno anything abt the movie b4, as in nv watch e trailer n such, so initially i feel the show is quite zzz... but slowly the show become nice.. haha, nice love story worth watching! esp for couples. hehe.. and e best part of the show, is that it's based on a true story! ya, interesting ah? anyway think there is a trailer abt another show, freedom writer, think next time shd go watch..

well well

no playing anymore so decided to blog! still early to go slp anyway haha

well, so i have overcome tt fear of mine, ya through sheer determination, nth is impossible as long as u believe in yourself. but i think more have to done with my encouragement skills

as i mention yday i will blog abt sth meaningful so here it is! it's actually sth i receive quite some time ago..

"It is important to win in life, to triumph over one's weaknesses, to succeed in society, to be successful in exams. The important thing is to first be victorious. And then gain the nourisment you need for your happiness.

Life is about winning. Buddhism is about winning too. Society is concerned with reputation; government is concerned with punishment and reward; and Buddhism is concerned with winning or losing.

Society is based on opinion, whether others say good things or bad things about us. The nation rewards those who do good things and punishes those who do bad. Both society and government operate based on such relative values.

But Buddhism is win or lose -- there is no halfway. What is life's purpose? To be a winner, to be happy. What is happiness, then? At it's essence it is fulfillment. When you are fulfilled, you wear the golden crown of your own deep, personal satisfaction.

What, then, is fulfillment? It is fighting against difficulties, Without difficulties, without challenges, there can be no fulfillment. And without fulfillment, there is no happiness.

There is no happiness without hardship; it simply can't exist without hardship. Everyone forgets the process -- the road -- of battling hardships and searches only for the end result -- the destination -- of happiness. Overcoming hardship and suffering is happiness replete with true fulfillment." -- Daisaku Ikeda
